Medbeds are just a way for conservatives to fantasize about universal healthcare without being called "socialist."

It's a permission structure, an outlet for that unspeakable desire to see a world where the reaction to a person being sick is the very obvious thing: help them, help them get better, do it now.

@futurebird @hypebot That is the best take I have read in a while. It is the technofascism version of idealism.

@axeln @futurebird Technofascism is a new word to me but it seems really apt. This angle helps me understand the #medbeds better, too, because it is both a normal caring response (help sick people), a permission structure (not socialism I swear!) and a fascist othering (THEY won’t let you access this care).
